NEW Yearning Authentic Transformation, Young Adults, and the Church Robert Hendrickson
The Hobbit takes readers into a world unlike any other—yet so much seems familiar. As Bilbo journeys there and back again, glimpses of the spiritual are seen. Previous guides to Tolkien’s fiction either entirely overlook the Christian elements or claim to find them everywhere. This volume, written by internationally regarded Tolkien scholar, Devin Brown, is an approachable, witty, and highly entertaining book that offers fresh perspectives to fans of The Hobbit. Abingdon Press.
